Streaming services like Paramount+ have changed how we watch movies and TV shows, offering unparalleled convenience – especially when you’re on the go or without an internet connection. When traveling, dealing with spotty internet, or simply wanting to save on data usage, the offline download feature enables you to keep enjoying your favorite content. In this guide, we will walk you through everything you need to know about downloading from Paramount+ and watching offline on various devices.

Can You Download Paramount+ to Watch Offline

Yes, Paramount+ offers an offline download feature. This feature is perfect for subscribers who want to watch content during commutes, travels, or in areas with unreliable internet access. However, offline downloads are not available on all Paramount+ plans and come with certain restrictions.

Limitations of Paramount+ Offline Downloads

While the Paramount+ offline download feature is convenient, it has some limitations:

  1. Subscription Requirement: You need an active Paramount+ with SHOWTIME plan to download content. The Essential plan includes ads and doesn’t provide the offline playback feature.
  2. Device Restrictions: The Paramount+ download feature is only supported on iPhone/iPad (iOS 15+) and Android tablets/phones (Android 5+). Desktop and laptop users cannot download content directly from Paramount+.
  3. Expiration of Downloads: Downloaded content has a time limit and will expire after a certain period, typically 30 days or 48 hours after you start watching.
  4. Download Limits: There’s a cap on how many titles you can download at once – 25 downloads. If you attempt to download more than 25, you’ll receive an error message advising you to delete some existing downloads to proceed.
